North Carolina, USAThese are paper thin excuses to ban emulation and reek of gatekeeping and privledge.
Let alone how presumptious it is.
Don't call things people enjoy tacky. That's unbelievably rude.
Hey!
The character differences do come into play - Rash's hitbox is quite a bit smaller and I want to say he hits slightly less hard?
I'm sorry I can't provide a lot more context here - but yeah - I can at least confirm they are defintiely not cosmetic.
I'm not going to have an all treasures run for quite some time until I have some extra hardware - the 2nd treasure on floor 42 requires you to press "run" on controller 2.
Hopefully I'll have those soon enough and can do a cool thing with all 90 treasures.
If you're getting all the chests, the evil items will never show up in the game as you'll always be getting balances from previous chests. So as long as you aren't missing anything - you'll exlusively get beneficial items if getting all 90 treasures. (and same goes for the 55 treasures run - if you're getting the first treasure on every floor that has a chest in it, you'll be okay. - I had mispoke earlier when I mentioned 60 as there's 5 floors without one.)
There's a timer on harder difficulties - which also removes getting stat points after every level as well and everythings based off of what gear you have equipped. But the timer is 100 seconds per floor.
As well this plays very little like Return of Ishtar - that is a wildly different game from this.
With the exception of a few floors, most of the treasures are on different floors or are use in a slightly different way from arcade. The PCE feels more along the lines of a remake.
As for what floors you can skip getting treasure from - there's certainly a few. Although items you'd be skipping are valuable, such as armor and shields, weapons. And being able to take extra damage and hits will help with you've got to quickly beat later enemies. As well they give you stat points which you can allocate to speed which enables to move quicker.
However - I find a lot of joy in finding every treasure and have little to no interest in running a true Any%.
I suppose being the only runner just makes them one in the same at this point and it's not much of a big deal.
But still, I like running my 60 treasures category and eventually i'll route out the full 90 treasure category. But i'll need a 2nd controller for that one due to the game being silly.
Heey - just following up. I'm happy to mod for the PC Engine side of things as well.
Thanks!
There's no points, so there should not be a 50k leaderboard.
Specifically, the leaderboard I am looking is an All Main Treasures run.
(Each floor with the exception of 3 of them has 1 treasure that's almost always required to be at the game - but not always required. But in my run I grab every single one of them.)
I can write you up some specific directions if you need as it's EXTREMELY diferent from the other versions.
Heey so - any word on making a leaderboard?
Awesome!
I'm happy to type up proper rules if you like those or let me know how you want this to work.
I did a run today, so I'll have something to submit ASAP.
Hello Friends!
I have been toying with the PC Engine version - which is WILDLY different from all the other versions of Tower of Druaga out there.
I noticed y'all don't have a leaderboard for the PCE version (despite using it's box art as the cover art for the page.)
Would you mind making a leaderboard for it?
I've routed getting every single main treasure - mainly the important treasure in each room (that has one) and have been running this. It's fun to solve the puzzle in each room as quickly as possible, especially once you start putting stats into speed.
I unfortuantely don't have a recorded run, but I did an offline run just now and came in at 26:25. I intend to do a run on stream within a week so i'll have a real thing to submit.
So, the category i'm making here is specifically: "All Main Treasures (PCE-Easy)"
It's got other runnable categories but like - i'm not doing those and don't want to crowd the leaderboard.
As well, happy to moderate the PCE stuff that comes in if you want to make me a mod of some sort. (If you can even do per category)
Thanks y'all, happy to answer any questions about this very unique version of this game. <3
I will happily add you both, I'm hoping to like, just relinquish modship here.
Hey y'all.
So this board has seen a ton of activity lately and it makes me so happy that y'all are enjoying this game as much as I did when I founded the board.
But I know I am not the most responsive mod and don't pay that much attention to SRCOM.
If any of y'all would like to be a mod here or just take over the page, I am happy to turn it over.
I've been practicing with an all stages run - basically fresh file and do every stage. Bosses, Mausoleum, and run & guns.
Feels like the best way to experience and run the entire game.
As well - thinking we should separate Xbox vs PC? In some cases i'm seeing almost a 6x a long load time for Xbox.
Hey all,
Was messing around last night and was able to replicate this a few times. Basically renders King Dice 100% useless after you finish his Dice phase.
Steps seem to be as simple as: finish dice phase, wait for card attack, jump and use level 1 super.
Next time he uses the card attack - he will sit there with his hands walking in place and no cards will come out. I've been able to do this 3 times and haven't really seen it fail? Any more insight would be neat.
Clip is here:
No shame in running MN9. It's an entertaining run at least.
I did Beck in MGV - it's still my preferred option there. Gunvolt's double jump though is just so good.
If I ever run 1 slot i'll probably do Beck just to give him some love.
Official because it's a Nintendo licensed product. I know it's an emulator in a tiny NES shell. But it is an official Nintendo release of the game.
At the end of the day this REALLY doesn't matter and I'll keep using emulator. I just saw other games on the NES Classic Mini having it listed as a console and figured i'd ask.
I mean one is an official release and the other is not.
But I have no problem submitting under Emulator, just wanted to pose the question.
So I've been doing runs on the NES Classic Mini and I see other boards have that listed as a console - any chance we can have that added as a possible console?
I've just been using NES [Emu] in the meantime and overall - this request isn't a big deal.
Just figure i'd put it out there for clarity's sake.
